hey all, thanks again for all the help in the past, just need some quick tips....
in the process of removing my chain case to redo the bearings that went bad. actually, i got the chaincase out.....but still havent removed the drive shaft. been a bit intimidated about removing the rear suspension, although i'm not sure why.....
the main reason is that i have no idea what to hold up the back of my sled with lol! just curious what some of you guys do? and second question....only 6 bolts that hold it in? my manuel says 4, 2 way in the back and 2 in the front...but with my eyes it looks like there are 6 total.....the 4 in the manuel, and 2 in between......
and one other thing, on the speedo side, there is that bearing that is held on with the locking pins...does that need to come off to remove the shaft? any quick tips about that? and which side to i slide the shaft out?

if u have a strong over head beam in ur garage just loop a tie down to it and jack up teh rear with that wraped around the bumper. tehre are 6 bolts the 4 u can see on the tunnle and the 2 up by the foot sturups. remeber to lossen ur rear wheels up all teh way and also the bolt at the bottom of ur transfer rods where tehy slide in and out of each other(makes it easyer to get out and back in and lined up). the baring on the speedo side has 1 or 2 set screws in it u have to lossen that u ahve to usaly wrence at it slaming it to realy get it off. it usaly rusts up a bit adn gets stuck. best way is to slide teh shaft back and forth but u need teh skid out so the track can move with the drive shaft.
